the bad weather must've scared off the customers. we hardly had any in-store visitors, and only 4 people had ordered catered meals from my sister. one really weird thing was we didn't sell a single bento box, which is typically a hot item. my sister once again upset everyone, especially my father, when he tried to give her advice about her hot & sour soup and she just got angry like somehow she was being criticized, despite him being an expert on said soup from his days of working as a chinese restaurant cook.
for lunch i had some handmade noodles served with leftover sauerkraut soup from saturday (we'll probably be eating it into next weekend). my mother made yet another temu purchase with my help, with 2 more orders still not arrived yet. my father asked me to record a video of him flaying and deboning some chicken legs, in case we ever need to learn how to do it.
there was some snow flurries throughout the day, and at one point the sky started to lighten up like maybe we'd see the sun. by the time i left the cafe at 5:20pm, it starting precipitating again, this time tiny hail balls. i don't remember ever riding through hail before, i can tell you it hurts when these ice crystals hit you in the eyeballs.
i didn't bring any food back with me tonight. instead, i sadly made myself another peppered ham sandwich. this time i added a layer of yellow mustard to make more interesting. i also had some orange slices and finished some old ube ice cream from the freezer.
i ordered a lenovo tab M8 (3rd generation) 8" tablet from walmart tonight, after seeing it go on sale for $69 with free shipping. the same model sells on amazon for $155. the M8 is the same tablet (1st generation) grubhub gave us to interface with their delivery orders. on the square side, we currently use an old iphone that belonged to my sister to see the online orders. the tiny iphone screen (4") is hard to read and control, and it's still connected to my sister's apple account so it sometimes rings when she gets a phone call. the new tablet is due to arrive on friday, i can set it up when i go to work on saturday. i also ordered a simple tablet base from temu, hopefully arriving next week.
